To the other end! Seriously it is measured from the breech face.

On a Remington or others similar, from the little hole in the side of the action to the muzzle will put you pretty darn close.

Don’t include a muzzle brake….if you have one
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

So with the cleaning rod method I assume the end down the barrel goes against the bolt face on a closed bolt.
The reason I am trying to figure this out is that I have a Ruger M77 MK11 in 300 WSM that I am not sure what the barrel length is.
